Reading the difference

Some dimensions are excluded because one studio does not publish that figure.

Different format families: Hot Pepper is Cascading reels, Le Hooligan is Cluster pays. Read each screen with its own rule set.
They come from different studios — Pragmatic Play and Hacksaw Gaming — which is what makes the comparison useful: the same problem, two house styles.
Published RTP: 96.45% against 96.34% — Hot Pepper is 0.11 points higher. RTP is a long-run theoretical figure, not a session forecast.
Both cap out at roughly the same place: 10,000× and 10,000×.
Volatility cannot be compared: Le Hooligan does not publish a rating.
Worth noticing: the higher RTP and the higher win cap sit on opposite sides. Hot Pepper returns more in theory over the long run, while Le Hooligan reaches further at its ceiling. The two numbers answer different questions.

Different format families: Hot Pepper is Cascading reels, Santa’s Gift Rush is Standard video slot. Read each screen with its own rule set.
